I recommend buying the remote to taylor the sound to different music.it small enough to not be an eye sore and simple to mount. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent and Vital with your Bazooka Sub Written By Michael, NJ - 1995 Acura Integra on Friday, August 13, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm so glad I bought this with my 250W powered bazooka sub. It comes in so handy next to my head unit. The included remote wire is very long and should be plenty for any vehicle (unless you drive a limo). The install is a breeze if you run the wire when you install your amp wiring. It plugs in like a phone jack to the subwoofer, and to the remote. Even though I have bass controls and subwoofer controls on my alpine head unit; I like the convenience of having this complement my head unit. It's much easier to adjust the bass by turning the knobs then looking through a receiver sub-menu. It's a no brainer...if you're buying a bazooka sub, buy this. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked When using he remote for the bazooka tube, what are the settings (gain and Xover) on the bazooka tube itself or does the remote control everything? [ Paul. Mar 03, 2014 ] 2 answers My Bazooka tube had a set 80hz Xover inside no adjustment available. You would just be adjusting the gain with the remote. I usually set my gain at the Bazooka Tube and use the remote for fine tuning. [ GEORGE Mar 10, 2014 ] Once you have plugged in the remote, it allows you to change the settings when ever you like. With the remote, you don't have to mess with the setting on the bass tube. I bought mine in July and it is one of the best subs on the market!

This past Wednesday, May 2, University of Minnesota President Eric W. Kaler hosted Chancellor Nancy Cantor in a special discussion of the role of the 21st-century university in meeting urban challenges at a Great Conversations presidential forum on the Twin Cities campus.
"Public Mission, Urban Challenges: The 21st-Century University" is part of UMN Land Grant 150, a yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Morrill Act of 1862 legislation that laid the groundwork for the land-grant research university's ongoing mission of learning, discovery and engagement for the common good.
Cantor and Kaler discussed the role of universities as anchor institutions in their communities, and how universities can step up to the challenges of a markedly more urban, global and interdisciplinary age.

hi !
what best describes the role of the customer in scrum?
can he or she be the product owner / Is he or she part of a PO team?
Should he or she be involved into the sprint planning or review meeting?
I'm interested in some Feedback from the real life not so much from the theory.
What do you think?
Thanks a lot !

I am new to scrum and below are the points from best of my knowledge
1. Customer is the person or committee who has best of knowledge about the product. Product owner is one person from within that committee.
2. Product owner (PO) is not a set of team according to Scrum guide but PO is a person who represents the desires of committee in the product backlog.
3. Product owner should participate in sprint planning meeting as well as review meeting.
Hope this helps.

The customer is not known in scrum. A possible role for a customer is to be the product owner. It is the role that best fit. The reality may be a little bit different when the product is build externally or the product may be first decided from many different decision sources, in that case you will need a customer proxy, somebody that represent the customer best interests. In the real world i don't know so much "customer" interesting to became a product owner, they prefer to delegate to a proxy. The proxy as product owner has the responsibility that the stakeholders understand and agree to the scrum process and define how the priority/value will be defined and fixed (this is outside scrum but have to be very clear).
I don't have clear answer if the proxy has to come from the organization that realize or outside, like a consultant by example. It depend first on the ability the scrum team to be the most efficient. My preference is that a business consultant with a good knowledge of the business (and scrum as po) will do a better job as a po rather than an employee with more technical skills from the company that realize the product.
My two cents, hope its help

Hi Christof,
I agree with Michel. I am currently scrum master of a project/product that we're building for an external customer. The customer isn't experienced with scrum. However, there are a lot of stakeholders that have an opinion about the product being build. The customer accepts the rules and roles that scrum offers. But effectively complying those rules and really being a product owner is a difficult task for customers new to scrum.
Therefore we've chosen the following team structure:
- an external scrum team that develops the product (7 developers, 1 PO and 1 SM) (that's us)
- a certified product owner from our company who is helping the customer (and 1 proxy PO in particular) managing the product backlog, advising with selecting business value, managing all the stakeholders etc.
Our 'external' product owner acts more like an business consultant/advisor/coach etc for the customer. Our 'internal' product owner really is the PO for the team.
I understand that this team structure isn't really according the scrum guide. But it works!
Hope sharing my experiences help you a little.

Hi Christof
A Product Owner can originate from the supplier, the customer, or another party entirely. Some customers don't want to dedicate one of their own people to product ownership, while others insist on it. What matters is that a PO has the skills, knowledge, and ability to fulfill their role.
This implies that while the PO doesn't have to be a "customer", he or she needs to understand (and be respected by) the stakeholders for whom the product serves.

+1 to Ian's comments immediately above. I attended a conference session by Bob Hartman once. He said that a Product Owner needs to be available(to the Scrum Team), knowledgeable(product *and* Scrum), and empowered(to make Product decisions). Seriously lacking in any one of those three and you have a problem on your hands.
The short answer to the original question is that the customer usually plays the role of "key stakeholder" in Scrum, helping with product backlog grooming and attending sprint reviews (as well as any other interaction that is possible and adds value).
In cases where the customer is highly available to the Scrum Team, and is knowledgeable about Scrum(PO training helps a LOT), they might play the PO role. Usually though, with paying customers, this is not the case.

Hi there,
first of all, thank's a lot for your detailed feedback about the real life of scrum.
I only have the view as a IT service provider. From that point of view the customer has a very important role in how we do project management. So i miss that kind of role a little bit in the scrum theory. However, i think as so often in Scrum, it is a question of your own interpretation.
I also think the best way is the "proxy-way". Depending on the customer, there will be a PO in a double role. On one side as a internal PO an on the other side as a more classic project manager in front of the customer.
No what i'm also searching for is a best practice for a customer kick-off meeting. I've read a lot about requirement analysis in agile projects and about user stories. I've also watched that great video from Mike Cohn.
How do you handle this? Together with the customer? How do you plan a customer kick-off? Do you invited the customer to a sprint review or better do a separate review meeting?
best regards,
Ian Mitchell

Can you clarify what you mean exactly by a customer "kick off" meeting? For example...
- Do you mean a sales (or pre-sales) meeting with a potential client?
- Do you mean the first meeting after a contract has been signed to supply project-filling services?
- Do you mean the meeting immediately after the authorisation to initialise the project has been obtained from the project or programme executive?
- Do you mean the first meeting of project stakeholders in which a candidate Product Owner may be identified?
- Do you mean the first meeting (with the identified Product Owner) in which a product backlog will be drafted?

By Minxin Pei
FORTUNE -- Less than a month after the completion of China's leadership transition, Zhongnanhai's new occupants are facing two difficult tests: a destructive earthquake on April 20 that killed about 200 people and affected 2 million residents in Sichuan, and an unfolding bird flu epidemic spreading across the country's most prosperous eastern seaboard.
Judging by Beijing's handling of the aftermath of the earthquake, the new leadership headed by Xi Jinping seems to have passed its test with flying colors. The government responded quickly and effectively. In the three days after the trembler ravaged Lushan county, a remote and impoverished region, more than 20,000 soldiers, policemen, firefighters, and medical personnel were dispatched to the area. The timely and well-organized rescue effort was responsible for minimizing the loss of life and reducing the suffering of victims.
Of course, observers are tempted to compare the performance of Xi's administration with his predecessors' response to the far more devastating earthquake of May 2008, which occurred also in Sichuan and killed more than 70,000 people. Such a comparison would not be fair, because the magnitude of this earthquake was much smaller than the last one (7.0 vs. 8.0). Nevertheless, it's clear that the new Chinese leadership has learned valuable lessons from the experience of 2008 and avoided some of the mistakes made five years ago, such as poor logistics, slow response, and lack of proper equipment and trained personnel.
MORE: Time to negotiate for a raise? Here's how.
In all likelihood, Xi will receive high marks for managing the consequences of the earthquake. However, his administration's reputation will be determined by its handling of another, and arguably far more dangerous, unfolding crisis -- the H7N9 bird flu spreading across the eastern part of the country.
As of April 23, this new strain of the bird flu virus had infected 108 people in Shanghai, Beijing, and five provinces (Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Henan, and Anhui), with 22 fatalities. Compared with H5N1, another strain of the bird flu that has killed 371 of the 622 infected in China and other parts of Asia since 2003, H7N9 has a more complex genetic structure (combining genes from three other flu strains found in birds in Asia) and seems harder to detect and track (because infected poultry show no visible symptoms).
Fortunately, there are no signs that this virus has mutated into a strain that can spread from one human being to another. So far, the Chinese public has remained largely calm (in sharp contrast with the mass panic after the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, 10 years ago). The economic fallout was modest. The only victim seems to be YUM Brands (YUM), the American fast-food chain and parent company of KFC, which reported a 20% fall in same-store sales in China in the first quarter.
To be sure, the H7N9 bird flu could quickly morph into a far more deadly public health disaster. But for now, Xi's administration is apparently handling the crisis competently -- again as a result of learning from the painful lessons of the SARS outbreak in 2003. When the SARS virus emerged in late 2002, the Chinese government concealed the epidemic from the public. As a result, the virus spread to the rest of the country through "super-carriers" (highly infectious individuals).
Beijing also kept the World Health Organization in the dark. Eventually, when Chinese authorities could no longer hide the epidemic, the public panicked. Daily life across much of China was severely disrupted. Hong Kong, which was hit hard by the virus, nearly shut down. In retrospect, the mismanagement of the SARS outbreak fatally undermined the political authority of Jiang Zemin, who had just retired from his position as the Communist Party chief but kept his post as commander-in-chief.
Jiang's successors seem to have learned how to deal with a public health crisis. Beijing today is far more transparent about the spread of the H7N9 bird flu, offering updates on the situation daily. China has also become more communicative with the WHO, sharing information with the group and inviting its experts to come to China and participate in inspection tours.
Beijing has adopted more decisive administrative measures as well. Shanghai shut down its live poultry market. Trade in wild birds is suspended across the country. Large numbers of chickens have been culled. And the central government has appropriated nearly $50 million to provincial disease control centers so they can strengthen their monitoring systems.
MORE: Working with cancer: A brave new professional world
Clearly, the Chinese government is capable of learning from past mistakes and averting potential political and humanitarian disasters. This is certainly good news. But it would be premature to conclude that China's government is a consistently adaptable and flexible system. These two cases are excellent examples of the Communist Party's tactical adaptability -- it can adopt sensible and effective measures that address specific challenges.
But the real challenge facing the party is existential, not tactical: It is whether it can adapt to a fast-changing Chinese society and turn itself from a Leninist party into a democratic one. In another 10 years, Xi's legacy will not depend on whether he saved more lives in Lushan or contained the H7N9 bird flu in his first year in office. It will hinge on whether he can make China far more open, democratic, and livable than it is today.

Quirky doesn't adequately describe the Buell S1 Lightning and this mid-90s take on the Buell dream has its plus points, as well as a few serious flaws in its roadster concept. The engine and gearbox felt outdated even when new, the handling was OK, with the braking perhaps slightly less so. The 93bhp White Lightning has more oomph and is ...

On Monday, the group unveiled a refurbished baseball diamond and played host to a baseball clinic at the Ripley House Field.
Nike also donated $50,000 in baseball equipment and assisted in numerous field improvements, including playing surface, a drainage system, a scoreboard and on-deck circles.
"We're proud to give Houston youth the opportunity to be physically active and the means to do it," said Joaque Hidalgo, vice president of Nike USA Marketing and Brand Management. "All-Star week has kicked off, we're bringing a little of the excitement to these kids today. With the help of two former All-Stars, we're going to provide these kids with a day that inspires them to play baseball and stay active."
A member of the 3,000-hit club, Gwynn played 20 years in the big leagues with the San Diego Padres. Cruz Sr., meanwhile, spent 13 of his 19 Major League seasons in Houston, and helped lead the Astros to NL West division titles in 1980, '81 and '86.
After inaugurating the field, Cruz Sr. and Gwynn offered a fielding and hitting clinic that included a home run derby, a first-to-home competition, and other baseball-related activities to more than 100 children. The field was sponsored by NikeGo, the company's signature community affairs initiative to get children more physically active.
"For us at Nike, we've had an association with baseball for 25 years in footwear, accessories and working with players, and we are very excited to be here," Nike spokesperson Kellie Leonard said. "We are excited about the All-Star Game and we thought this would be the perfect opportunity for NikeGo in Houston."
Neighborhood Centers Inc., the city's largest social services agency, operates five other community centers in addition to Ripley House: Head Start and Early Head Start programs, the Charter School-Ripley Campus, Senior Centers, and Early Childhood Development Centers.
"For our kids and our community, this donation will have an immediate impact," said Neighborhood Centers Inc.'s Joe Martel. "We are very thankful to Nike and to the athletes that are here with us today as our youth will remember this day and this generosity for the rest of their lives. It's not every day you get a training session with the pros and a new field and equipment."
Nike committed more than $10 million in cash and products to get children more active last year.
"This is a great opportunity for us and to bring two great All-Stars like Tony and Jose Sr. together for something special," Leonard said. "We're very excited."

Recently, there has been a great deal of attention to the fact that the U.S. workplace now spans four generations. How can employers ensure that work is meaningful and adapted to the needs of workers across these four generations? For the most part, disability has not been part of the mainstream of this conversation. Yet, disability issues are central to understanding and responding to the multi-generation workforce in several ways: The meaning of "disability" has changed significantly over time; the legal and policy climate of disability in the workplace has evolved; different generations tend to experience different types of disabilities; and with the aging of our population, more people with disabilities will be in our workforce. In this session, we will co-explore the multi-generational workplace and examine how employers can ensure that everyone can fully contribute their talents.

-been there twice. 1st time the service was deplorable. 2nd time we were seated, the person that seated us offered to sell us water then didn't see anyone for 30 minutes. We left and cooked filets at home - better wine at home too.
Inconsistent – This is the second time we've eaten at 1808 Grill. The first time, the food was outstanding all around (we had a group of about 10 people and all loved their dishes), however the service was terrible (female waiter was extremely rude and inattentive to the female guests of our party).
This time however, we arrived without reservation on a Saturday night. I understand the vagaries of what to expect under such circumstances, even so, my low expectations were not met.
We were advised that we could sit and eat at the bar. That seemed fine to us, however, in the 25 minutes we were seated at a bar table, we saw our server once: the moment she dropped off our drinks and scurried away before she could hear me request a glass for my beer. I though perhaps she had other responsibilities in the dining area, but the only place I could see her go was into the kitchen and then back to the bar to complain about back pain.
After waiting 25 minutes, I finally asked the hostess to find seating in the dining area (which was clearly available that late in the evening). She finally returned 5 minutes later with a table.
Our server this time was delightful, the food however, was hit and miss. The missus ordered the NY strip, which was a perfect, and we shared an uninspiring flat-bread pizza. I, on the other hand, went against my better judgment and ordered the gnocchi with braised rabbit, instead of the braised short rib. Bad idea. The rabbit itself was delicious, but whatever acrid, translucent gravy they drizzled over the dish was absolutely putrid. I can think of no other way to describe it, except as hot-lemon bleach. The gnocchi were burned, and tasted only of whatever burnt vegetable oil they were cooked in.
Of the listed elements of the dish (braised rabbit, roasted fennel, mustard greens and ghocchi), only the rabbit and greens tasted pleasant. The rest of the dish and it's wretched sauce were complete culinary disasters. It's the type of food I wouldn't even give to a dying sh1t-house rat.
Will I return to 1808 Grille? Absolutely. But I think I'll stick to the beef and pork, and stay far away from everything else.
Best meal we've had in we can't remember when! – The food is so very good. Not only was this quite possibly the best hamburger ever, the artic char was outstanding. In fact, absolutely everything we ate was amazing. Garlic french fries - yes Garlic. Yummy, thin cut fries drizzled in garlic butter. OMG. Fish that was seasoned to perfection, cooked perfectly and delicious. A side dish of spaghetti squash with sage and bacon. And save room for the crazy bread pudding - this is not your mother's bread pudding. We tried to dissect the dish and think that the bread was a sweet bread of some sort that was baked liked giant croutons and then mixed with a rum sauce that was so good. Not too sweet at all. And then the whole thing was covered in freshly chopped apples with a wonderful sauce. We've never had a bread pudding like this before. We live in Chicago and have many, many fine restaurants to choose from and the 1808 Grille gives them a run for their money. Can't wait to get back to Nashville to sample more of what this Chef has to serve! As for the hostess, well, suffice it say she did not seem pleased to have customers without a reservation even though there were plenty of seats. But rest assured that the flawless service we received from Chris and the outstanding food made her nothing but a distant memory.
If only the service were as good as the food – My first experience with this restaurant came with planning my 21st birthday. I called about 2.5 weeks in advance to book one of their private dining rooms for a party that I had of 25 people. Everything went fine on the phone, and I was told that I would be emailed a copy of the menu so that I could create a customized menu for my birthday dinner. I waited a week for the email before calling the restaurant back, because I was told that the person responsible for private dining had been in and out of the office. I called, explained that I was still waiting on the email, and was told that the man responsible would not be in the office until the next day. Hesitant, I (foolishly) hung up and waited until the next day for the email.
Still having not received it, I called back again and asked to confirm my reservations. The girl that I talked to had no idea what she was talking about and told me that I needed to call back at 3 so that I could talk to this elusive man in charge of private dining. I got off the phone, and then had a brief panic attack realizing that my birthday was now about a week away and I may or may not have a place for 25 people to eat. I immediately called back and requested to talk to a manager. She pulled up my information, told me that the reservation had been taken down, but that the room I had requested had been given to a corporate party.
Well........this was certainly not the news that I wanted to hear. I had never been contacted and told that I didn't have a reservation, and she apologized profusely for this incredibly inappropriate error, and promised me that I could have several tables in the front of the room instead, which was NOT what I wanted, so I canceled the reservations and found another place. I wrote a very long email and sent it to the manager, who then called, left me an apologetic voicemail, and urged me to call him back. I did so, left a voicemail, and never heard from him again.
For whatever reason, I decided to try this place again, because I heard that the food was amazing. A friend and I got to the restaurant about 45 minutes before our reservation (we planned on just walking around and checking out the hotel before our dinner), and checked in with the hostess, who told us that she could probably have us seated in ten minutes, so we just decided to wait. Well, an hour later, we still had not been seated and when we went back up to the hostess after seeing her seating guests who were freely walking in, she had completely forgotten our names and reservations, despite having walked past us for the past hour.
The one redeeming quality about this restaurant is that the food is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. I ordered the arctic char (which is my top 5 of best entrees in nashville) and was blown away. However, I am hesitant to give this restaurant a 3rd chance until it can get its act together.
Looks Can Be Deceiving – Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess who could not find our reservation. After several minutes of searching the list, she found our name and led us into an empty dining room. Why the hassle with so many empty tables?
The waiter arrived promptly with the wine list and menus, and he returned every thirty seconds to take our order, which apparently frustrated him a little. He never discussed the menu or the specials with us. We finally got him to return, and we ordered a bottle of wine which arrived fifteen minutes later. We overheard our neighbor table ordering and the waiter could not offer any information on any of the dishes.
The food was presented very well. We ordered the potato truffle lobster ravioli and the balsamic braised boneless chicken thighs. The food was alright. The chicken tasted like something my mom could whip up in her crock pot back home, and the ravioli tasted like it was hosed down with perfume. They never brought out our roasted sweet potato side dish. Oh well.
Overall, the decor was great, the wine was good, the food was alright, and the service was mediocre at best. If you are looking for a classy, gourmet, fine dining experience, then we recommend that you eat at the Watermark instead.
Left hungry – Paid $75 for vegetarian dinner/wine for 2. Food was edible, but very bland and sparse. We both left hungry. Service was great and the place was lovely, but we will not return.
A great night all around! – 5 of us went to dinner there for a graduation/birthday celebration. The Hutton hotel doesn't look like much on the outside but the inside does not disappoint. Soaring ceilings, a huge metal horse, and succulents adorn this eclectic modern atmosphere. Our waiter was funny and helpful and the food was delicious. The special was opa (a fish we had never heard of) and it was amazing. Wonderful cheeses, interesting entrees, and tasty drinks.
The one drawback is that 5 of us were at a table that was too small for us. The couch/bench seat sunk me down too low. It was comfortable to sit on, but a bit awkward when dining. I'd go back anyway.
Desparately seeking good food, found it here! – The Hutton Hotel was created by gutting a tired office building and rebuilding from scratch. If 1808 Grille is an indication of what the rest of the hotel is like, it was money well spent.
A longtime close friend was in town and I was desparately seeking a restaurant that would portray Nashville in a positive way. And I was bringing my young daughter with me. After looking at several well-known fine dining establishments I found 1808 on CitySearch. The fact that they had a kid's menu and the 'adult' online dinner menu convinced me to make reservations.
The food was excellent. Each table receives a plate of marinated olives, a selection of flatbreads and a grouping of three sauces. The 18.08 special was a fish filet cooked to perfection. While the flavor of the fish was superb and stood alone, the Asian-inspired sauce complimented it nicely. I didn't taste the chicken fingers my daughter had but her shoestring fries were delicious. Desserts were a good value and very tasty, with imaginative presentations.
Chris, our server, was informative, attentive and friendly. When my daughter wanted honey mustard sauce, he went to the kitchen and made it himself. He explained that the chef avoids flavoring entrees with sauces, leaving it to the customer to choose from the sauce bowls provided.
The free valet parking is a huge plus in this area of scarce parking. However the parking attendant who returned my car left it smelling of burning clutch. They should make sure these kids know how to drive a manual transmission before hiring them to park cars.
great place for special occasion – It was my birthday and we had 15 people dining in their private room. The tables are in a large square so you can face every guest. The room is gorgeous and private with beautiful eco friendly design throughout the restaurant and hotel. The service was perfect and the food was even better. We all passed some of our dishes around so we could sample everything. Favorites were the fried risotto bites w/ stone ground mustard, 500 degree oyster mushrooms, grits, hamburger w/ shoestring fries (is not on dinner menu, but they were gracious enough to make it), and arctic char. Good options for vegetarians (sides and appetizers) b/c they are so filling. The best part was dessert! Chocolate crunch bar w/ peanut butter mousse and banana beignets w/ hazelnut creme anglais, to die for!!! Highly recommend this restaurant, not stuffy at all, perfect for special occasion or even a casual dinner.
Enjoyable Night Out – I enjoyed my experience at 1808 Grille. The bartenders were fantastic as were their drinks. Our food was quite good also. The decor is beautiful and it's a fun environment for a special night out with your sweetheart or a group of friends. Also, this is a nice place to take a client or boss. The Hutton Hotel where the restaurant is located is friendly and offers complimentary valet parking (great for that area). If you aren't interested in spending a lot on dinner, then stop in for drinks. It's well worth it.

Plane Wreck Found in Louisiana Might be '66 Crash
The NTSB has been researching the wreckage since it was discovered on Feb. 11 by someone rabbit hunting.
ST. MARTINVILLE - Rusting airplane wreckage discovered in the Atchafalaya Basin by a hunter could be an oil company aircraft left abandoned in the swamp after a 1960s crash, St. Martin Parish officials say.
The National Transportation Safety Board has been researching the wreckage since it was reported by Lafayette businessman Harold Schoeffler, who happened upon the crash site Feb. 11 while rabbit hunting.
News reports of the find have prompted a few calls to the St. Martin Sheriff's Office reporting that it is probably wreckage from an oil company airplane that crashed in either 1966 or 1967, spokeswoman Maj. Ginny Higgins said.
Callers have reported a pilot and a passenger escaped, and the airplane was left in the swamp, she said.
"From what I understand, they both did survive," Higgins said.
As for why the wreckage was left in the swamp, she said, "I guess it was handled at the time in a certain way."
The Sheriff's Office has no report of the crash, Higgins said, and all the information known so far has come from area residents who called in after hearing news reports.
"We're just getting bits and pieces here and there," she said.
According to NTSB records, a Cessna 180 - the type of airplane reported by Schoeffler - crashed when it hit an overhanging tree while attempting to take off from a canal in St. Martin Parish on July 14, 1966.
The NTSB records do not identify the name of the pilot but said the plane was operated by "Longhorn Air."
The specific location of the crash is not given in the NTSB records, and the details differ slightly from what has been reported to the Sheriff's Office.
Higgins said callers reported the airplane crashed while attempting an emergency landing after experiencing mechanical failure, but the report blames the crash on a failed take-off.
NTSB Regional Director of Aviation Safety Hector Casanova was out of the office Thursday and could not be reached for comment on whether investigators believe the wreckage is from the 1960s crash.
Casanova said earlier this week his office had been unable to find any documentation of a crash at the site, which is off a canal in St. Martin Parish near the Atchafalaya River.
He also said that aviation investigators generally do not leave wreckage at a crash site.
Casanova had speculated the wreckage could have been a missing aircraft or airplane used in drug smuggling.
According to NTSB records, the only report of a missing Cessna aircraft from the Lafayette area in the past 40 years was in 1975, but that plane was a different model.

The toilet will be Cadet 3 Right Height (16 inch rim height). It's hard to visualize if there's going to be enough space to sit on the toilet without vanity crowding you.
What is considered the minimum comfort distance from the side of the vanity to the toilet, measured either to the rim or to the center?

Hunting for the Perfect Christmas Tree
Want to see photos and videos of amazing Christmas trees from around the world? Be sure to visit the Parque Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Trafalgar Square, Vilnius, Hansaplatz and 30 Rockefeller Plaza location pages.
It's officially December, which means Christmas trees will start popping up in living rooms around the world. The tradition of bringing a Christmas tree into the home can be traced back to 15th-century Germany, and the custom spread throughout the globe in the second half of the 1800s. Today, around 35 million Christmas trees are grown in America each year and 50 to 60 million are produced in Europe.
Historically, Christmas trees were almost exclusively harvested from wild forests. Now almost all trees are grown on commercial tree farms where they are cut after about 10 years of growth. Many Instagrammers around the world visited both farms and forests to find the perfect tree and shared their search on Instagram.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These came quickly - 5 days before the projected delivery date. Turned out great - the color was perfect, each one was perfect. Regular postage to send them - which was nice. The one thing that could be improved would be that one of our envelopes had some ink on it (probably from packaging), but I was sure to order extras so it was not an issue."
"I was able to personalize the text and add any photos I wanted. I didn't need to customize the odors because they were perfect for what I was looking for! Very good quality, I couldn't have asked for anything better."
"It was really easy to personalise our names and colour specifications. All our guests have commented on how great the save the date looks and the idea of it being a magnet means it won't get lost on a shelf after al the time and effort that goes into choosing the perfect item. Our product arrived less than a week after ordering (only 2 days after approving the proof)- what great service."
"I was concerned with ordering my save the dates on line but they were so inexpensive i thought why not, They arrived a week early and were beautiful! Thick, high quality resolution and exactly a promised. I could not be happier with these cards."
"This Save the date was the cutest thing! We spent ages trying different photos in the photo spots and zooming them in and out and trying basic editing things. We darkened the colour slightly and slightly altered the font to suit us. A designer also moved everything slightly so that we could fit our wedding website and extra long international venue address in. The quality of the magnet is awesome, and the size is exactly what we wanted. Everyone who has seen them thinks they are absolutely gorgeous!"

I think the Goulds V60 is a 20 gallon tank. Did the well man say the pump was a V60?
If you get your pump and wire replaced, tell him not to cut up the wire and to leave the old wire and motor with you. They are probably worth at least $100 as scrap.
If the pump is using 17 Amps when it should be using 6 Amps, then it shouldn't be running at all. He should tell you what the horsepower is.
The air pressure in the tank should be about 2 psi less than the starting pressure of the pressure switch.
You might be able to check the pump by connecting a hose to a spigot, open it all the way, watch the pressure when the pump is running, and measure the flow rate by measuring how many seconds it takes to fill a 5 gallon bucket. If they installed a 20 gallon tank, then the flow rate should probably be somewhere in the range of 6 to 10 gallons per minute.

Some elementary students in Mesa are learning a new lesson when it comes to engineering, and it's all thanks to a generous donation.
These young engineers are fifth graders at Highland Elementary. They are creating a knee brace.
They have the model and the tools, but they have to figure out how to make it with no instructions.
"At first I wasn't sure what we would be doing but I think I really do like it, get to try new things and be creative," says student Andrea Judd.
This is Dr. Millar Haskell's class. They are using a new program called Engineering is Elementary. The goal is to increase students' interest and their confidence about engineering.
"It's really cool because the kids can do it hands-on instead of a math test, where you keep writing, writing, writing," says student Chase Harris.
The Boeing Company gave the Mesa Public School District a grant allowing thousands of students to take the class.
"The goal is also to have teachers and students learn more about engineering and technology and understand it better," says Mary Baldwin of Boeing Company.
And the students seem to enjoy it. They are coming up with all different kinds of ideas.
After all, these kids could grow up to be engineers and work for Boeing.
The program is being used in other classrooms across the country as well.

Canaries deny City top spot
Manchester City missed the chance to go top of the Premier League as Norwich battled to a goalless draw on a frustrating afternoon at Carrow Road for Manuel Pellegrini's men.
Pellegrini made three changes from the side that lost at home to Chelsea on Monday as they looked to take full advantage of Arsenal's 5-1 defeat at Liverpool earlier on Saturday.
However, it was the relegation-threatened Canaries -- hammered 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium in November -- who raised their game and soaked up plenty of pressure to earn themselves what could be a crucial point.
City hit the crossbar in the first half through a header from Alvaro Negredo, but otherwise Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy was not really troubled -- and the home side almost snatched victory in stoppage time when Nathan Redmond's cross flew through the six-yard box just ahead of Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
The visitors created an early opening when a cross from left-back Gael Clichy was hacked away by Norwich defender Joseph Yobo, making his debut on loan from Fenerbahce, with David Silva lurking in the penalty area.
Norwich, though, showed plenty of attacking intent themselves, with a goalbound 20-yard drive from defender Martin Olsson cannoning off Pablo Zabaleta and behind for a corner.
On 16 minutes, Redmond was played into the City penalty area on the overlap down the right, but the England Under-21 winger could only blast his angled drive high into the Barclay End.
Norwich had a goal correctly ruled out for offside when Gary Hooper swept the loose ball home inside the six-yard box after Joe Hart had saved a bullet header from Leroy Fer at point-blank range after a corner.
There was a brief stoppage when City midfielder Yaya Toure needed treatment after taking a knock to the face, but play soon started again, and on 36 minutes City struck the woodwork when a near-post corner was flicked on and Negredo's header cannoned back off the crossbar.
The visitors pressed again as half-time approached, with Ruddy getting down well to save a low 20-yard strike from Stevan Jovetic.
City maintained their dominance following the restart and only a brilliant diving tackle by Olsson prevented Jesus Navas from slotting home at the far post on 55 minutes.
In a rare Norwich attack, a clever exchange between Hooper and Russell Martin saw the full-back played into space at the edge of the City penalty area, but his half-volley flew wide, and on 61 minutes City replaced Jovetic with Edin Dzeko.
Hooper needed treatment for a foot problem after kicking Silva's boot as he tried to clear and had to come off, as Norwich's record signing Van Wolfswinkel was sent on in the 67th minute.
Milner was booked for tripping Olsson, but it only interrupted the siege as Dzeko fired into the side netting following another flowing counter-attack.
Aleksandar Kolarov came on for Negredo with 14 minutes left and then Navas' low cross went through the six-yard box and behind as City were again frustrated by a lack of cutting edge.
Norwich, though, almost snatched it at the death as first Redmond's cross was just too far ahead of Van Wolfswinkel and Anthony Pilkington fired just over after turning Zabaleta.

Blogger's confession: I can spend a couple of hours interviewing sources and crafting a post several hundred words long and get a couple of thousand hits.
Or I can write a pithy introduction, repurpose an infographic that has already appeared on several other sites and most likely was created by a public relations firm or a company looking to push a product and service and end up doubling or tripling those traffic numbers.
I've done both. But I'm not necessarily proud of succumbing to the infographic trend. I'm not bashing infographics. Some of my best friends are graphic artists who design infographics that are eye catching, smart and tell stories better than my words ever could. But this latest visual Internet fad of telling almost every story with a dense infographic is something that I'm hoping will soon be played out.
"We are becoming numb to infographics. Not long ago, I saw infographics in my newsfeed as an informational 'treat' because I knew the author had used the medium only because it most effectively displayed the information," said Jasmine Bina of JB Communications in New York and Los Angeles. "But now that people have realized the traffic-generating powers of these things, every dumb report with an ounce of usable info is puffed into these massive images."
Gail Granger, who runs a communications firm in Winnipeg, was more blunt in her assessment of the infographic craze.
"We used to have an attention span of about 30-seconds - the length of a commercial. Now it's down to about five," she said. "We are becoming a society of hyperactive, yammering idiots."
Making Informed Infographic Decisions
Stephanie Yonus of Big Red Pin in Edison, N.J. "hates" infographics but still gets her team to work on creating them.
"I can understand why readers like them so much, and in my position I have to follow the trends," she said. "Even when I can't stand them."
So until the trend dies, we've compiled a list of do's, don'ts and best practices for creating and using infographics, whether you're a blogger looking for content or a public relations firm looking to get your client's message out.
Accuracy Counts
Like many readers who have gotten used to seeing lots of infographics on the Web, Yonus said the first thing she does when she sees one now is scan to the bottom and check the source. By habit, bloggers and journalists should do this, and if they can't verify the information, they should hold off publication until they can.
But readers need to be cautious too, because not every person who publishes an infographic will do that, and many can be loaded with outdated information or information taken out of context.
"The biggest con is the ability to make an accurate representation of the data. I've seen visualizations that are pretty but not accurate which is never a good thing," said Ali Asage, CEO of Boost Labs, a company that specializes in data visualization. "The other con is not being clear with visualization which can lead to too many interpretations of the data."
A Picture May Be Worth 1,000 words, But Sometimes That's Too Many
Bina says people are too often using infographics to turn nothing into something. Padding content may hook readers in initially, but it won't keep them on your page once they realize there's no depth there.
"Sometimes things are better left said, as in words," Bina said. "If you're a writer, don't succumb to the allure of an infographic when you know deep down inside that one or two sentences will convey the message just as well, if not better."
Increasingly, firms take a topic, find loads of data supporting their point of view on that topic, and then cram it all into a single inforgraphic that stretches like a skyscraper across a blog post or Web page.
"The best infographics condense their data points into a digestible size, or into separate 'chunks' of graphical data," said Todd Defren, principal of SHIFT Communications. "It would be nice to see infographics served up in separate chunks of 3-5 graphics, so journalists and bloggers can decide what aspects of the data best suit their readership."

The Cougars maintained their pursuit of a first-place finish in the Division I North with a 4-1 victory over the Lancers in a game that spanned just an hour and 20 minutes.
With two outs in the opening inning, McQueen designated hitter Nate Gadsby skied a flyball that seemed to stay in the air forever. It didn't stay in the air long enough for anyone on Spanish Springs to catch it though as it fell to shallow right field for a double, allowing Kody Reynolds to score all the way from first base for a 1-0 edge.
It took Spanish Springs a few innings to get going, but they found a power stroke from two unlikely players.
After being retired in order the first two innings by Reynolds, Chase Hauder led off the bottom of the third with a bloop single.
With one out, speedy No. 9 hitter Shannon Kelly showed he can do more than just bunt for base hits, crushing a ball to the left-center field gap for a double, putting runners on second and third.
Matt Mannens stepped to the plate and showcased his pop, sending a ball almost 400 feet for a two-run double to dead center field.
Spanish Springs built on its 2-1 advantage when Kelly got his second at-bat of the game in the bottom of the fifth frame. Again, he found the gap in left-center for a two-bagger.
With two outs, Mannens flirted with the wall down the left-field line. He tomahawked a pitch that one-hopped the wall for a run-scoring double, capping his three-RBI day.
The Cougars made it 4-1 on Kenny Semenko's line drive single to left field, which drove in Mannens.
"They (Kelly and Mannens) really sparked us. They sat on the baseball well. I can't say enough about those guys," SSHS baseball coach Ben Hofmann said. "He's (Kelly) got a little pop in him. Kody was throwing hard today for them and he squared up a couple good pitches."
After giving up two hits and a walk in the first inning, Spanish Springs pitcher Nikk Audenried stifled the Lancers for the majority of his start. Audenried went six innings for the win. He allowed one run on four hits. He walked two and struck out five.
"He couldn't find the strike zone early and couldn't find his off-speed stuff," Hofmann said. "He was good the middle innings and found his off-speed stuff. He was just really effective. We played good defense behind him and good things happen."
Lucas Jones came on in relief in the seventh. He made the save interesting.
After giving up back-to-back hits, Jones struck out the side to end the game.
Gadsby had two of the Lancers' six hits.
Spanish Springs (19-7, 13-4) will look to complete the sweep Thursday at McQueen. First pitch is scheduled for 3:45 p.m.

Tons of Tweaks.

I want to know, do any of you think that another phone will come out soon that would make you want to switch from an IPhone to an Android based Phone?
